The task this time.

[Mission Mode: Chaos]

[Quest Rules: None]

[Mission Objective: Time Repairer]

After being hijacked by the "self-aware" Vault of Heaven, they had already completed a task of [Ouroboros] rated as Super S Grade. That kind of task was really exhausting, so before setting off this time, Song Qinglan had not waited for her. An A-level mission was chosen among the unlocked missions, and it was enough to unlock more hints about when they could go back.

I thought that this task must be very simple compared to [Ouroboros]. After all, A-level and super S-level are not of the same order of magnitude, so simple that the system does not even provide them with task rules.

Who knew this damn system caught them off guard once again.

When the monsoon rains are almost certain, it is no accident that they are sucked into this place.

Whether it is a rain forest mirrored up and down, or a city mirrored left and right, the flow of time is far beyond common sense.

These strange phenomena correspond to their mission target: the time restorer.

For him and Song Qinglan, it was only three minutes after they left the space capsule, but for Li Chun it was different.

According to Li Chun, he arrived at this place six days ago.

Like them, his capsule had crashed into a mountain of garbage, and in a daze, he saw a big mustache with bloody nostrils and a tissue stuffed in it.

The bearded man observed the uniform he was wearing, and after confirming that he was still alive, he slowly took away the nutrient solution in the capsule, then tied him with an iron chain, and picked it up together with the materials he had picked up. Back to the space capsule.

"I almost thought I was going to be dismembered and cooked by him!" Li Chun said, "I couldn't move at that time, and even thought about the suicide note. Think about it, how unlucky it is, even if I was hijacked by a system on the way to the mission. Now, one task after another has been completed, and there is no fucking bonus! That's okay, after all, when I entered the sky, I swore to be a fearless guardian. But if I really die in this bird, In the place where the eggs were laid, I couldn't sleep in a fucking death, that girl was waiting for me to ask her for her contact number last time!"

Song Qinglan stared at him: "It's a long time, the last sentence is the point."

Li Chun carded: "That's just an additional point. In fact, I'm not very afraid of death. I died many times when I was in PU-31. I'm just afraid that I will die here alone, even the last of you. You can't see one side."

As soon as Li Chun's words came out, there was some fireworks in the space capsule.

The cold and eerie atmosphere in the other world was diluted, and he didn't even have a beard to pick up a frying pan to compete with Song Qinglan.

When the bearded man saw them coming back, he said a few words to them, and then pointed to Li Chun, saying that he had saved him, and then he drank the beer in his hand, and fell on the spot and fell into a deep sleep. One word comes to mind: wide-hearted and fat.

In the three minutes after Song Qinglan and Ji Yushi left - that is, in the six days of the capsule, Li Chun and Beard had already had a profound exchange. The ground and walls were covered with works that the two exchanged, and the pictures that were originally interesting were painted beyond recognition.

Ji Yushi listened to the conversation between Song Qinglan and Li Chun, and then followed the "exchange works", some could understand, some could not understand.

"What about the others?" Song Qinglan asked.

"I don't know." As soon as the captain came back, Li Chun didn't dare to indulge any more, and said honestly, "The communicator is not connected here, and I don't know where Brother Wen and the others have gone, maybe they are still on their way here. "

Just like in the monsoon season, Li Chun also fell here from the moment he entered the capsule to prepare for the jump, and it was only a short while for him to be separated from his teammates.

It seems that it is not only the problem of time flow in the mirror world of the rainforest and the city, but the whole world has a time difference with the outside world.

Ji Yushi asked a piece of paper on the wall, "Is this a painted beard?"

A space capsule was drawn on that piece of paper, and nine people were drawn beside the capsule, one of whom was very tall.

The space capsule was drawn according to Song Qinglan's cartoon, and the man was so ugly that it was written by the bearded man.

"Bearded?" Li Chun accepted the simple title, nodded and said, "Yes, this is what he drew himself. There should have been nine people when they came, and now he is the only one left. I see this Uniforms and space capsules, shouldn't they be travelers like us?"

Song Qinglan said, "It's possible. They were also sucked in."

Li Chun remembered something, walked over and said, "Consultant Ji, he wrote here but I can't understand it, can you understand it?"

Li Chun found another piece of paper on which the beard was drawn in more detail. He was also wearing a uniform with several symbols drawn on the uniform.

These things like symbols are the words written by the beard, and no one can understand them.

Li Chun asked the right person.

As soon as Ji Yushi saw these symbols, he immediately remembered the PINpad in the small room. The uniform in this painting has the same symbols as the PINpad.

Ji Yushi said: "If the symbols on the PIN pad are numbers, then I correspond to the two symbols on the number pad from 1 to 9, which should be 18."

Song Qinglan understood: "According to your corresponding analysis, if you use the exclusion method, then the first two symbols are definitely not numbers."

"It shouldn't be." Ji Yushi looked back at the picture of the space capsule, "But since they appear on the uniform, even if they are not numbers, they must also represent the meaning of regions, projects, etc. To find out what they mean, we will To know where the beard came from."

When Ji Yushi said this, he paused: "Nine people... is he the only one left?"

There are few traces of anyone else living in the capsule.

The control room is full of debris, not a spectacular level that can be achieved in a short period of time, but must be accumulated over a long period of time. And the messy hair and long beard of the beard also shows that he has been here for a long, long time.

So, how long has the bearded man lived here alone?

The traces of the chains at the door of the small room after being dragged for many times also show that there is more than one person who has been dragged back by the bearded man. So, where did those people go?

Why is there only one man with a beard in this place?

Song Qinglan pondered: "Will those people also enter the rainforest, maybe enter the city, or some other place, like the Sky Dome Twelve Team."

Li Chun said oddly, "Team Vault Twelve? What other rainforest cities are there?"

"I'll tell you about this later." Song Qinglan was not interrupted by him, and continued, "Consultant Ji, if those people really go in, the flow of time in the two places is different. It may not come back."

The mind is always clear during the monsoon.

Even with a mission as difficult as Ouroboros, he can quickly find blind spots that everyone has not noticed.

It is the same at this time.

"It's very simple, we can calculate it." Ji Yushi said, "We didn't wear a communicator when we were in the rainforest. According to my perception of time, it is temporarily calculated as two days."

"Wait." Song Qinglan objected, "There are two days?"

How could he feel that it was only about a day at most, and when he was in the rainforest during the monsoon, apart from being hungry and tired, he didn't find it difficult.

"Yes." Ji Yushi frowned slightly, "For some reason, I rarely make mistakes in the perception of time, so our time in the rainforest is almost two days."

Song Qinglan understood, she had hyperamnesia again.

People with hyperamnesia are not like ordinary people who will gradually forget the last second and last minute.

For them, every second spent is still clearly engraved in their minds, including all the cognitions and feelings in that second, as long as they are recalled, they are as profound as they are going on, so they have a deep understanding of time. perception is rarely wrong.

Ji Yushi didn't dwell too much on Song Qinglan's doubts, but continued: "But when we came back, we found that it took less than two hours to leave here to go to the rainforest and then come back here, so we can temporarily The calculation is two hours for easy comparison. Here is a result, if the time flow rate is calculated in hours, the time in the rainforest is 24 times faster than that in the space capsule.”

Song Qinglan and Li Chun listened quietly.

"But the city we entered after going out from the outer cabin door was completely the opposite." Ji Yushi said, "It can be said that the time there is unimaginably slow. Let's compare three minutes with six days, and still press Calculate the flow rate per hour, so the flow rate of time in that city is 2,880 times slower than that of the capsule."

During the rainy season, his mental arithmetic ability is as good as his memory, and he doesn't even need scratch paper or a calculator: "For a simple example, if we didn't go to the rainforest first, but directly opened the outer cabin door and entered the city, surely Will try to find a way out of it. Even one day in that city is equivalent to nearly 8 years or so in a space capsule. Imagine what would have happened if we had been in the city for a few days and then came back here What kind of situation?"

Hearing this news, Li Chun opened his mouth wide: "Fuck? If that's the case, won't I all die of old age when you come back?"

"Almost." Monsoon said, "For us, it's only a few days, but for you, it's actually been decades. If the time velocity of the capsule is used as a constant, then rainforests and cities will appear. variable place."

"Then there is a question." Song Qinglan thought about it, "Whether the former group of people, whether they are the bearded teammates or the Sky Dome Twelve Team, are there still people in that city? After all, time has passed for them. For a little while, it's possible they'll all be alive."

Everyone was silent.

This possibility is very high.

The terrible difference in the flow of time makes one's scalp tingle just thinking about it.

No wonder Beards reacted so much to their decision to get out of the hatch.

Team Song and Consultant Ji have returned safely, but Li Chun was still afraid for a while. He hurriedly asked: "Then we are sure that we have completed the task here? Time restorer, how do we restore this time? This is definitely just an A-level task? "

"If you don't get the beard drunk, maybe we can continue to communicate now, and ask how many people came here before we came." Song Qinglan folded her arms and crossed her arms, "That's weird, why does he get along with you? so friendly?"

Song Qinglan was imprisoned for five or six days, and starved for five or six days.

This question is unsolved.

Ji Yushi said, "How to fix it... I don't know yet."

He looked at the paintings and symbols all over the floor and wall, and said, "Let me first find out what you have communicated with in the past few days. When Beard wakes up, I may be able to learn his language."

Song Qinglan: "Can you learn his language?"

Ji Yushi said: "Well, there are seven languages ​​that I am familiar with but not proficient in. The learning speed is not slow. You can give it a try."

The other two were suddenly silent.

Ji Yushi turned around and asked strangely, "What's wrong?"

Li Chun asked sincerely: "Consultant Ji, do you know the difference between ordinary players and open players?"

The three acted separately.

Song Qinglan went to Junk Mountain again to find some useful clues from those parts and machinery. By the way, he observed how far away the darkness and nothingness gathered around the capsule.

Since those paintings were too difficult to understand, Li Chun stayed behind to help Ji Yushi sort out some of the meanings he already knew.

When Beard wakes up, they will try to get the information Beard already knows.

"This is us?" Ji Yushi turned to a messy piece of paper.

Two people were drawn on the paper, one tall and the other thin, both holding cans in their hands, and there was a "7" written on their chests.

Li Chun nodded hurriedly: "Yes! He drew it after making a gesture with me. It was through this that I knew you were here."

Ji Yushi is funny, it seems that the beards are very resentful about them eating their own canned food.

However, he quickly frowned, pointed his finger at the painting and asked, "What is this?"

In the painting, there is a love between him and Song Qinglan.

"My day!" Li Chun immediately threw the paper away, "This is the bearded man who misunderstood and thought you were a couple!"

During the rainy season: "..."

From the point of view of the bearded man, he and Song Qinglan seemed to have something wrong these two days.

Don't say it, as long as I recall it, I'm really a bit gay in Gay.

"Fortunately, Team Song is not here! Consultant Ji, you don't know, Team Song has PTSD on this!"

Ji Yushi blinked, sat down and asked, "Oh, what is PTSD?"
